Hi Lisa,

There are SO many red flags and horribly wrong situations in your story that I do not know where to begin. The age difference is the least of your problems, though it is an issue to be as young as you are with a fully adult man.

He is blatantly cheating on you, treating you like crap, humiliating you, using you, etc etc and all you say is that the fact that he has not beaten you yet is a great thing!!!

Listen to me. I do not know you, but if I were a friend of yours, I would tell you to run like hell from this man. Empower yourself. Gather back your self esteem and sense of worth. You deserve much better than this. Do you think that you are undeserving of someone's love? Someone who has ethics, morals, and goodness? You must stop this immediately and start to live your life as if you cared about yourself.

DO IT LISA. There is nothing to even discuss here. Free yourself from this self inflicted misery today and start living your life as a decent person. Do not look back. Everything will come to you once you are free.

good luck
